The Charlie Kirk detail that made MAGA turn on Trump

What's Trending

President Trump is facing rare backlash from within his own party after dismissing the tragic murder of director Rob Reiner and his wife as a byproduct of "Trump Derangement Syndrome," a move many conservatives are calling hypocritical.   Prominent allies, including Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Charlie Kirk’s producer, have condemned the remarks, contrasting Trump's mockery with Reiner's own "grace and compassion" when he denounced the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk earlier this year.   Despite pleas to treat the situation as a "family tragedy" rather than political fodder, Trump has doubled down on his attacks, sparking a heated debate within the MAGA movement about decency and leadership.

00:00President Trump is facing massive backlash from his own party this week and it's all because of

00:04what he just said about the iconic Hollywood director and Democratic political activist

00:09Rob Reiner. The president's comments come after Reiner and his wife were tragically murdered by

00:13their own son, Nick Reiner, who was reportedly charged with two counts of first-degree murder

00:18this week. After the couple's passing, Trump posted on Truth Social that they died because

00:23of the, quote, anger he caused others due to, quote, Trump derangement syndrome. Although

00:28reports state the defense attorney have asked people not to jump to conclusions as they

00:32investigate the case, which brings us to why conservatives are furious at Trump's remarks.

00:37Just months ago, Republicans were outraged when liberals celebrated the assassination of Charlie

00:41Kirk. And when Charlie Kirk was killed, Rob Reiner went on Pierce Morgan and called it an absolute

00:46horror. That should never happen to anybody. I don't care what your political beliefs are.

00:51That's not acceptable. That's not a solution to solving problems.

00:58Even Charlie Kirk's own producer admitted Reiner responded with grace and compassion,

01:03posting on X that the Pierce Morgan interview makes Reiner's tragic end all the more painful.

01:08And Marjorie Taylor Greene, who recently announced her resignation from Congress,

01:12reportedly stated Reiner's death is not about politics. It's a, quote, family tragedy.

01:17And when MTG says something, you know the president may have crossed a line. But Trump was doubling

01:22down, insisting Reiner was not good for this country. Share your thoughts in the comments
